"The name of the deceased was Felicia Johnson, 19 years old. He died of suffocation. The murder weapon was a silk scarf worn by the deceased himself."

In the garden outside the banquet hall, the body of the red-haired girl was lying on the ground, and the police were cordoning off the side.Seeing Ying approaching, Detective Norton's eyes lit up.

"Miss Ying! Are you at the scene today?"

Relying on the function of the title "The Final Queen", every time Ying enters the dungeon, she will be matched with the most convenient identity to complete the task.Of course it's the same this time.Her father, Castelli, started his fortune by investing in virtual currency in recent years, and became rich almost overnight, which naturally brought her into the upper class.And this lady herself has a very special identity, she is a consulting detective.

Therefore, Ying can very conveniently intervene in this case as a detective.

"Have you found anything?"

She crossed her arms and looked at the corpse on the ground.

"Yes." Inspector Norton nodded, handed Ying a pair of gloves, and then handed her the evidence bag.

Ying carefully observed the contents of the evidence bag. It was a card with a rainbow printed on it, and a letter.

"The letter was printed on the most common A4 paper," the police officer said. "There are no fingerprints. Let's go back and test the ink, but I'm afraid there is not much hope."

Ying carefully unfolded the paper, which read:

Hey!The show is about to begin!Who is next?

Ying read it over and over several times, but there was no extra information.

She sighed and handed the evidence back to the inspector.

"Does Miss Ying have any ideas?" Inspector Norton asked, "Although I haven't worked with you yet, I have heard about your deeds from my colleagues. You are a very talented detective..."

A loud chuckle cut him off.

Ying turned her head, and the stragglers were walking slowly.

"Who am I?" Ying said coldly.

With previous memories, Ying knows that the skirmisher in this world is the son of the richest man, with a weird temper, eyes above the top, and an arrogant attitude towards everyone.He never told others his real name, and when others mentioned him, he would refer to him by the nickname "straggler".

The straggler had an extremely perfunctory smile on his face: "It's just that I don't want to listen to those flashy empty words. The daughter of an upstart wants to join the upper class with a little cleverness..."

He shrugged and laughed again.

Ying folded her arms and looked at him: "Thank you for praising me for being smart, and then correct me, it's not that I want to be in the upper class, it's that the upper class needs me. I can do a lot more than the young man who can only talk high."

"I have reservations." The straggler looked at her inexplicably, and then turned to Officer Norton, "This banquet hall is our family's property. As the organizer of the banquet, I allow you to call for surveillance, but you must inform in advance. All of you, only the inside of the banquet hall is monitored, and the garden outside... In order to provide unnecessary privacy for rich people who are interested in dirty things, there is no monitoring installed in the garden. Therefore, if you want to take a shortcut, it is better to give up as soon as possible.”

Inspector Norton frowned. Ying had already prepared for it, and it was impossible for her to see the answer directly in the dungeon.

"Are you the host of the banquet?" Ying asked bluntly.

"You're not stupid enough to suspect that I'm a murderer, are you?" The straggler raised a hand, "My IQ is different from yours, and I'm not enough to kill people at the banquet I hosted. Oh, by the way, tonight's work I can also give you a copy of the personnel and guest list, but unfortunately, except for the 'smart' lady next to me - I don't know how her name appeared on the guest list, everyone else is innocent A person with a head and a face."

She rolled her eyes at him, then turned back to look at the inspector.

"We need to talk to the family of the deceased and the people she communicated with during her lifetime."

"That's very clever," said the straggler in a strange way. "I really couldn't think of that."

Ying frowned anxiously.When she saw the skirmisher in Tivat for the first time, although she was taken away by Mona soon, she vaguely remembered that the skirmisher pretended to be a little bit and waved to her friendly.It wasn't until the time in Daozuma that he showed his crazy nature, why now...doesn't even pretend?

Detective Inspector Norton suddenly rang a bell, and when he answered the phone, his expression changed a few times, but he kept saying yes and yes in a good-tempered manner.

When he hung up the phone, he looked at Ying helplessly: "It said... that the young master should also participate as a consultant..."

Ying raised her eyebrows, yes, this is interesting.

**

Looking at the monitoring does indeed turn up nothing.The deceased had been sitting and drinking in a corner during the banquet, and did not talk to others, but left the banquet hall alone an hour after the banquet started.There were too many people entering and leaving the banquet hall, but there was no suspicious person, and it seemed that they were all coming and going normally.

What made Ying a little disappointed and what she expected was that the stragglers did stay within the scope of surveillance from the beginning to the end, so it can be said that there was no suspicion.

The parents of the deceased were already waiting at the police station.The Johnsons jointly managed a real estate company and had two daughters under their knees. The deceased was the eldest daughter.Her younger sister, Margaret Johnson, is studying at a boarding high school for the nobility, and has not yet learned of her sister's death.

The Johnsons appeared mute and exhausted, the loss of their daughter looking hard on them.In their eyes, their daughter has always been an obedient and well-behaved person, without any enemies, and few people dislike her.The only outrageous thing Fisher has ever done is to fall in love with a poor boy, but because they don't support it, Fisher has broken up with the poor boy last month.

"Why did this happen..." Mrs. Johnson choked up, "I think she was in a bad mood because of the breakup, so I persuaded her to attend more parties. Why... it's all my fault..."

Mr. Johnson sighed and patted his wife on the back with a look of pain on his face.

"Do you know Fisher's ex-boyfriend?" Ying suddenly asked, "We want to talk to him."

This sentence stopped the couple.After a long while, the two looked at each other awkwardly and shook their heads together.

"I never cared about her previous boyfriend... I just knew that he was from a bad family and didn't match her." Mrs. Johnson felt a little guilty.

"Perhaps Margaret will know." Mr. Johnson took up the conversation, "please allow me...to contact her..."

Taking advantage of this gap, Ying looked at the stragglers: "You have to hold an invitation letter to enter the banquet you hold, right?"

The skirmisher nodded: "But I don't know how you got the invitation letter."

Ying remembered something, and held back her smile: "Your mother gave it to me personally, and I have a very good relationship with her."

"My mother?" The skirmisher frowned suspiciously.

Ying nodded affirmatively.

This sentence is half-truth and half-false. It is true that she has a good relationship with the "mother" of the skirmisher, but the invitation letter...is not how it was obtained.

Her invitation was paid a lot of money, because a few days ago, she received an anonymous email in her mailbox, telling her that something interesting would happen at this banquet.As a relatively well-known consulting detective, receiving threatening letters is actually a bit normal for her, but when she traced the sender's IP address, she found that she couldn't find it at all, so she paid attention to it, and found a way to get an invitation letter.

Therefore, she does not have much hope for the idea of ​​being able to dig out traces of the murderer from Feliser's interpersonal relationship, because it looks like a series of serial murders... It doesn't matter whether the murderer knows Feliser is a big problem.

What does the rainbow represent?Ying slowly thought about it.

At this moment, a figure stumbled in and ran in. She looked very similar to Feliser, and her red hair was burning fiercely under the light.

Margaret Johnson's face was full of tears, and she grabbed Inspector Norton's hand suddenly: "It's Hans! It must have been Hans! I killed my sister..."

"Hans?" The inspector hurriedly asked.

"It's...it's my sister's ex-boyfriend!" Margaret gritted her teeth and said angrily, "I thought he really loved my sister, so I gave him my invitation letter...unexpectedly..."

"What?" Everyone present was taken aback.

Inspector Norton acted immediately and ordered the police to find Hans.

Ying stood where she was and touched her chin, it must have gone too smoothly.

She subconsciously looked at the straggler, and caught the flash of a sneer on his face.

**

Hans was taken to the police station.

Hearing the news of Feliser's death, he seemed to have been greatly traumatized, his complexion was pale, and his whole body suddenly hunched over.

"If he is really the murderer... then his acting skills are a bit too good!" Paimon smacked his lips and couldn't help commenting.

"Give me back my sister!" Margaret rushed up to beat Hans, but was stopped by the police, and Norton led Hans into the interrogation room.

Hans seemed to have just recovered from the blow, and he shouted: "It's not me! How could I kill Felicia!"

"We saw you in the surveillance." Inspector Norton turned the computer screen in front of him, "At 10:2, Felicia entered the banquet hall, and [-] minutes later, you also entered the banquet hall, and then you kept Sitting in the corner, we went to the scene to investigate, and you can clearly observe the movements of Felicia from your position. At [-]:[-], Felicia left the banquet hall, and you followed out after only [-] minutes .”

"I...I..." Hans stammered, sweating profusely.

Inspector Norton poses for two more photographs.

"We asked the neighbors in the apartment where Felicia lived, and more than one person said that they had seen a man stalking Felicia in a sneaky way, and they all pointed out your photo."

Hans looked even more nervous.

"Is it delicious?" the straggler asked suddenly.

"Huh?" Hans didn't seem to expect to hear this question.

"The food and beverages provided in my banquet hall are all top-notch in the world," the sneer sneered at the corner of the soldier's mouth. "At 47:[-], in the surveillance video, you went to the table to get a lot of food and wine."

Ying frowned.So what is this man up to?If he came here to murder Feliser, how could he have the leisure to leave his target and eat and drink?

"Okay, I admit it!" Hans closed his eyes, "I can't let Felicia go, so I've been following her. But I didn't want to kill her! I love her!"

"Did you enter the banquet to win back Felicia?" Ying asked.

Hans nodded.

"Then why did you sit there for a long time and even went to get food, but didn't take any action against Felicia?"

"I...I..." Hans was ashamed, "It's the first time I entered this kind of high-end banquet hall...the food is something I've never seen before..."

"Ha," the straggler laughed undisguisedly, "humans are always like this, stupid and greedy."

Hans blushed, not knowing what to say.

"So you wanted to eat again after eating a round, and your attention shifted from Feliser to the dining table, so you missed the opportunity for Felise to leave the banquet hall?"

Ying continued to speak for him.

Hans nodded painfully: "As soon as I lost my mind, she disappeared. I thought she had gone home, because she never liked too lively occasions, so I left."

"Why don't you stay there and continue eating," the straggler said mockingly.

"If she's gone and I stay there, it's too..." Hans held back for a long time, unable to find a suitable word.

The skirmisher laughed mockingly again.

"Have you any witnesses?" asked the inspector gravely.

Hans froze.He tried to remember, then shook his head.

"After I came out of the banquet hall, I went to Felishe's apartment to wait for her. I didn't wait for her, so I went home. Because I was following Felishe, so..."

So he covered his tracks and no one could prove it.

"Then I'm sorry Mr. Hans, you may have to cooperate with the investigation for a few more days."

Inspector Norton spoke very politely, but Ying could hear full distrust from his tone.

"Using my sister's invitation letter to kill my sister is really a foolish thing to do."

The straggler's words were ambiguous, he didn't know whether he was saying that Hans was stupid, or that Inspector Norton, who believed that Hans killed the man, was stupid.

Ying naturally didn't quite believe that Hans was the murderer.But everything is possible, and she kept an extra eye on it.

But if not Hans, then who?
